Journey of a Song

Have you ever wondered how a song is made? What happens during the recording process? In Journey of a Song, singer-songwriter Emmeline takes the audience on a tour of a musician's creative process, from the first notes to the final recorded song. Each week, a different songwriter pulls back the curtain on a favorite composition, beginning with an acoustic version of the song and ending with the final recorded product. In between, you'll hear a conversation about the inspiration behind the song, the decisions made in the recording booth, and the many ways in which music reflects and informs our emotions and our lives.

32. "Nothing Else Matters" by Christine Hand

November 12, 2021 • Emmeline; Christine Hand • Season 1 • Episode 32

"Even if our precious truths are torn and tattered, love will still be love."

Life is hard and complicated. Figuring out why we're here is hard and complicated. Even when we know why we're here, imposter syndrome can plague us, keeping us from answering our calling. In "Nothing Else Matters," songwriter Christine Hand reminds us that everything done with great love is worthwhile.

In this episode, Christine does a lyrical breakdown and talks at length about song format and rhyme schemes. Emmeline and Christine also discuss how one's life experience informs the metaphors one uses in songwriting and how "serving the song" can guide the recording decisions made in the studio.
